<p>Haha, you're cute. Insults always work when you can't come up with anything else.</p><p>I do mean out of his own salary. His salary is his money given to him in exchange for his work as president. It was tax money, it is now his money. However, I doubt he payed for all the travel expenses and such out of his own money (salary or previous savings). We pay him enough for his work as president, he shouldn't need to take other tax money for leisure purposes. It's the same as a CEO taking the company jet for his vacation; there's no reason the company should have to pay his travel expenses for something not related to his work. When he's not working, he should pay for his stuff and travel expenses with his own money just like everyone else.</p>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:40:23 +0000Baruch_Scomment 224738 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224735
<p>Now that sort of program wouldn't bother me much, although I have the suspicion that the US government would still find a way to muck it up and provide worthless healthcare for exorbitant taxes (we seem to be really good at spending lots of money on nothing; look at our education system). Still, if they could set up something decent for a decent price, I wouldn't mind, although I still would prefer just not to have the taxes taken and to get my own healthcare with that money.</p><p>However, I doubt that program would ever fly; it wouldn't help the jobless or the wellfare freeloaders (not that everyone on wellfare is a freeloader, but plenty of people are rather fishy). Our government really needs to crack down on the people who leech off the system and toss them out on their butts, but we don't seem to have the balls to do that.</p>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:34:00 +0000Baruch_Scomment 224735 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224733
<p>No, they exist in the Netherlands and send over 50% of their paychecks to the government. They're my girlfriend's relatives.</p>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 02:25:55 +0000Baruch_Scomment 224733 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224658
<p>He's reccommending that the PARENTS&nbsp;DO&nbsp;IT, you idiot. Thats all fine and dandy.. If he was suggesting the government enforce rationing, I'd be calling for his head, too. And that's coming from a hardcore Obama Supporter..</p>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:54:35 +0000Valdeargcomment 224658 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224656
<p>&nbsp;yes, cause video games are fun, but it's best not to let them get in the way of studying, exercising or whatever... i think it's something most anyone can agree with... and a mere recommendation, is not a call for government restriction</p>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 15:53:57 +0000Montecomment 224656 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224639
<p>So you're okay with a politician recommending rationing video games?&nbsp;Yes or no? </p>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:48:47 +0000Phlopsycomment 224639 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224637
<p>You assume too much... unless you care to quote me on the last time i called for the head of another politician for nothing more than recommending rationing video games...</p><p>Ya, most of the time that we see are congressmen not just recommending rationing, but working towards restricting games, or blaming video games as a cause of violence</p>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:46:34 +0000Montecomment 224637 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: Once Again, Obama Refers to Video Games As Something to ...http://www.gamepolitics.com/2009/06/26/once-again-obama-refers-video-games-something-set-aside-greater-good#comment-224632
<p>Right. And why is it okay for the President to recommend rationing video game exposure, but if some Congressman tried it you'd call for his head?</p>Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:55:04 +0000Phlopsycomment 224632 at http://www.gamepolitics.com
